string to byte array

[Jedhi]

string data = "123 456";

byte[] byteArray = ASCIIEncoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data);

 

I want to convert a string to byte array, but my problem is that I get all the characters in Ascii instead of hex or dec. How do I fix that ??

Just to clarify - You would want the byte array to contain the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6?

Yes. I've done as below, but I do not know if there is any smarter way to do it !

 

string [] data = null;

data = data.Split(' ');

byte[] barray = new byte[data.Length];

int i = 0;

foreach (string s in data)

{

barray[i++] = Convert.ToByte(s);

}
